a continuous string of shoppers and
sightseers paraded through the estab

big elevators and were .transported to
all departments,
The tasty arrangement of goods and
the profuse display of flowers gave the
store an air of splendor and brilliance.
Although It la only IS days since the
store was turned over to the firm by
the contractors, every department was
complete and ready for business. The
women's lunch counter on the third
floor, which will open next week, will
present a restful and homelike atmos
phere. The lighting system Is a tested nov
elty. It Is the Intensified are light plan,

REDS BEGIN ROUND UP
Stray Indian Ponies Near Pendleton
Are Corralled.
PENDLETON. Or.. May 3. (Special )
The annual roundup on the I'maill'.a
Reservation of the wild and stray In
dian ponies that have been roaming at
will over the range of the Blue Moun
tains began yesterday. Scarcely a brave
will be missing when the flnsl
count ts taken and the ponies branded
and turned loose. For many days cow
boys and Indians have been scouring
the foothills of the mountains In an
effort to run Into the big corrall all
horses that have been straying over
the hills for the last year.
The corral will be near Tutullla this
Spring and a large delegation of cow
boys -and roundup officials will wit
ness the roping and branding of the
"spotted cayuse, 700 or more in all.
It la believed that a few head of "bad
stuff" for the roundup may be picked
up at this gathering, although the av
erage Indian pony, while possessed of
all necessary meanness and determine-
tlon to buck the best rider over the
fence, isn't quite large enough to make
a real bad "bucker" such as is re
quired for the bucking contest and wild
horse race at the show.
There wtll be both wild and outlaw
ponies corralled at the Indian roundup
this week and the manner in which the
, warriors twirl thetr lariats snd quickly
throw the cayuse pony Is most fascinat
ing. A cowboy Is clever, quick and
sure In his range work, but an Indian
has ail the ekAl of the cowboy, his
nerve and absolute certainty of what he
wtll do, combined with an ease and
artistic war of throwing his rope or
riding Ms bucking broncho that wins
grest admiration. An Indian not only
can ride a bad horse to a standstill, but
can do It with an ease and grace that
ts rare.

DISCHARGED BISHOP

David A. Moore Ousted From
Active Duty at Head of
Methodism.
BLOW TAKEN GRACEFULLY
Aged Man Acer ires Verdict of Cora
inlttee on Episcopacy and Says
CJoodbye In Speech That
Stirs Entire Church.
"Take my love to the committee and
tell them that I am a loyal Methodist
preacher and a true soldier, and will
lng to abide by their decision."
That Is the manner in which Pavld
H. Moore, who gained the rank of
Lieutenant-Colonel in the Civil War,
met his fate In Minneapolis at the
Methodist general conference when the
committee on episcopacy sent word to
him thut it was considering his retire
ment from the effective general su
perlntendency of the church. His
bravery In battle, Methodism considers.
never excelled this.
Although It meant and he knew it
that the work to which he bad given
his life was to close, he revealed a
great soul In what Is admittedly the
greatest hour of sorrow that ever
comes to a bishop of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, when he must lay
down leadership In one of the greatest
ecclesiastical organisations on the
earth.
Bishop Kaovra la Portland.
Bishop Moore was stationed at Port
land for four years, and endeared hlm
self to all who came within his in
fluence. He left here four years ago,
when the board of bishops sent him
to Cincinnati, where he served his last
term in the effective work. ,
Bishop Moore's speech to the gen
eral conference, made after Ithe dele
gates had voted him Into retirement
upon recommendation of the committee
on episcopacy, has stirred all Method
ism and caused widespread comment
wherever his words have penetrated.
He pleaded, after passing through the
fiery ordeal himself, that his brethren
in the eplscopscy be spared the terrible
experience of "lying on a possible gull.
lotino, looking for a sharp, shining
sword to descend. He asked that an
age limit be fixed, so that bishops
should be automatically retired and
would know when their hour of active
service would end.
Final Blow Welcomed.
As officially reported. Bishop Moore
made the following speech from the
platform to the general conference,
after the vote had retired him;
It seems much better to have your head
off rolling In the basket than to be as I
hare been during the past week lying on a
possible guillotine looking far a sharp, shin
ing sword to descend. 1 went home to my
room at the Plasa this forenoon and looked
down upon a table where there was a cal
ends r. and 1 read this sentiment, sad 1
guess the Lord put It there for met
"It Is sod to be rich. It Is good to be
strong. But It Is better to be beloved by
many friends"
l Here the audience rose en masse with
great applause, giving Bishop Moore the
Chautauqua salute.l Bishop Moore con
tinued: Permit me to say that for many
years a simple little verse has been a sort
of guide and Inspiration to me: ,
"Whichever war the wind dotb blow.
Some soul Is glad to have It so.
So. blow It east, or blow It west.
The wind that blows, that wind Is best."
I submit to you thst I believe It would
have been a deal better (not to say that I
have any post-mortem agonies, because I
have none whatever!. lr you had adopted
the resolution submitted by the dean of
the law department of Tale. Henry Wade
Rogers, the other day, to retire us auto

to do, and we could have prepared our
selves for It. snd you would have been
saved from the poaslblllty of political temp

still further, because this Is a remarkable
period In my own history. I was Immensely
disappointed when 1 was to graduate and the
salutatory was assigned roe. 1 thought I
ought to have the valedictory. Strange, is
It not. that when the valedictory la assigned
me. I hanker for the salutatory? - (La us ti
ter and applause).
Soldier Accepts Betlrement.
Now. I have for you. dear brethren, noth
ing but the profoundest respect. You bare
done what you thought was your duty, and
as a loyal member of our church I am sub
missive and loyal to your decision. No mat
ter how you felt or voted, that does not
cut aay figure with me at all. I shall love
you as well, and I shall pray for you as
earnestly and be as ready to do anything In
my power for you as though .X knew you
had supported me- Too have discovered that
I am not effective, that I have not been
able to do some things, and I submit that
your Judgment Is better than my own.

Into Multnomah County.
TROCTDALE. Or, May 25. (Special.)
An extension of the Base Line Road
from Its present terminus near the 14
mlle post to a point directly across the
Sandy River Is contemplated by sev
eral nersons who will be benefited, and
efforts will be made to have the road
opened and Improved by direction 01
the County Court.
The extension will cover about one
mile, dul it win oe www wi iw "u"
Important pieces of road building; In
Multnomah County. The opening of
the road will require another sub
stantial bridge across the Sandy River
and the usual work of clearing, grad
ing and graveling. It will bring all
the territory east of the Bandy Into
closer connection with Portland and
all the western part of the county.
Heretofore those who live east of the
Sandy have been obliged to make wide
detours and climb steep bins to get
Into the leading thoroughfare to the
city, but the opening now contemplated
will give them at direct road witnout
hills and make a saving of several
miles In distance.
The land through which the proposed
extension of the Base Line Road Is to
be made belongs to Samuel Strebln,
E. T. Williams and A. B. Conrad. All
of them have agreed to donate the
necessary right of way, 60 feet wide,
and wtll assist In every other way to
have the extension made. The new
bridge across the Sandy will be the
greatest expense. The fact that there
will be but slight grade will make the
new road one of the most traveled of
any In that vicinity.
Surveys have been made showing the
practicability of the extension and the
two road superintendents. Lionald ftlc-
